Considering adopting a cat? Some things to keep in mind. Cats are social creatures, and are happier with company. Felines require exercise, mental stimulation, and social interaction, all things a cat companion helps provide. Look for a cat whose personality meshes with yours! Some are snoozers, while others would love a midnight game of lazer tag.

Cat proofing your home, while tedious, will help preserve your sleep, seeing as cats are most active at night. Without precautions, that vase you love could easily become a cat toy.
